So the greatest common factor 720,7136 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 407,6530
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2657710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/2657710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 720/407,7136/6530 is 16/2657710
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 407,6530 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(407,6530) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(407,6530) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(407,6530) = ( 407 × 6530 ) / 1
LCM(407,6530) = 2657710 / 1
LCM(407,6530) = 2657710
